THE BURMESE CAPITAL.
A Description of Mandnlay* Now Occupied
by the ItrltUh Forces.
New York World.
Mandalay, or Mandale, the capital of
J'.unnah, lies nbout three miles from the
I Irrawaddy river, on rising grotmrt below
Mandale Hill. The present capital of the
hind of Ava was founded about 1853 by the
father of the present King of Burrnah, Ur?
ancient capital being Ava, situated some
twenty miles below Mandalay. One of tho
motives if tbe Into king for selecting tho
present site for hi. capital w stud to have
been his .lesiro to remove the palace from
the sight nud sound of the British steamers,
but this is an improbable reason at best.
The citv consists of two concentric fortified
... ..maxA rmtzir br,in«r d..f.>ndr-<l hv biidl
squares, the outer beinh defended by
brick walls aud earthworks thrown up on
the inside. Four gates give admittance into
the citv, over each of which rises a tower
with so\c*n gilded roofs, siunlar tli >ngli
smaller towers adorning the wall at inter
vals. A moat fifty vards broad and very
dec,, --m.uds tlm walls ,md is natrolcd
during the night by guard-boats tilled with
soldiers.
The first square is inhabited by the offi
cials, civil and military, and the soldiers of
tho royal army. 11m houses of the inhabit
ants are all in separate inclosures, bordering
on broad, well-kept streets, along which is
" „ lattice,1 mlisnd. be.
tlie hinge fence, a latticed pallsane, oe
hind which the Burmese hide themselves
when the king passes. Tho central or royal
snuare is surrounded by an outer stockade
of teak timber, twelve feet, high, and an
inner wall. Two gates opposite each other
me the entrances into this enclosure, which
contains the government offices and
the roj ul mint on tlie other side.
On tho other is another wall and a cage gate
way opening into the palace injfosnre.
Passing through this gateway, a .large open
area :s seen, and on tha opposite side
arises a building, crowned by nine roofs
richly gilded and surmounted by a golden
Met, iui umbrella adorned with a coronal of
tinkling bells. This marks tho audience
hall, and, the royal abode being considered
sacred all entering that apartment are re-
qnired to take oil their shoes. lo tpc left
can be seen the abode of tho “white” ele-
phant, this animal being acarcely distin-
gnislinble from any other elephant, except
that the skin of the head is of a slightly
paler huo than tho rest of the body. To

TELEGRAPH BY-PLAY.
Tire Monmtng Custom of Xewspapera—A
Historical Item ami Other Things.
home newspapers continue the old-time
enstom of inverting the column rules and
going in mourning whenea er a noted man
dies. Gradually the custom is being shelved
with many other moss-hack notions, And
at the recent death of Vice-President Hen
dricks there were but few papers thus dis
figured.
Many years back the country newspapers
turned their rules at the dealt, of any man
who ever reached the distinction of being
classified ns colonel. In those days every
Georgia newspaper office hod a negro press
man, the work of pulling back the lever
of the old-fashioned Washington hand-
press being too laborious for the foreman
or his cubs, as young printers were called.
The pressman of that time was uaunlly an
old negro with a brawny arm and a love for
dram. These were his only requisites, be
cause the little devil on tlie other side of
the press, whose duty it was to keep tho
typo inked, was in fact the pressman, the
negro only furnishing the power.
There was one of these negro lever-pull
ers in the office of the Recorder, at
Milledgeville. 1 may be mistaken,
but I think his name was ' Dick.
Ho had grown up from a likely
young lad in a printing office, and he was
as ready to pull at a bottle as to pull nt the
press. On one occasion the forms of the
paper were late, on account of being held
Dack to get the rcturna of an election, and
while waiting, Dick filled up on dram, and
late in the evening, when the foreman called
him to get the forum, he was very unsteady-
on his Tegs. Never before hud he been so
full, because never before had he put the
forms on the press upside down. Then the
inking roller ran across the type and Dick
pulled back the lever. The sheet of paper
was pulled off, and it was printed black
with the bottom of the types. Looking at
it by the light of a tallow dip, Dick peeped
over his spectacles at the devil, and ex
claimed:
“Tell you, honey, de paper’s in mo'ning
dis time, fer sho. De wjiole world must be
dead!"
missed the dollar, and suspected the men
of having stolen it. Hite was not qnite cer
tain, however, and said nothing about the
matter lo her husband.
Friday afternoon tho two men returned
to tho bakery, and again asked for a dime’s
worth of cake. The same by-pla.v as to
changing a $3 bill was gone through with,
and when tho men left Mrs. Newman dis
covered that she had lost two dolktrs.
When her husband returned from deliver
ing bread sho told hint of what
had occurred. Mr. Newman was
lunch incensed nt the swindles, which
had been perpetrated upon his wife, and
had her to describe the men. This sho did,
nnd said (hat they belonged to McFlinn's
ten-cent circus. Mr. Newman wanted her
to go with him to the station-homo to in
form the police, but she refused to do so,
saying that sho objected to tho publicity
which the arrest of tho tuen would give to
the matter.
Yesterday, tho police heard of the swin
dles, and attempted to induce Mrs. Newman
to go to tho circus tent nnd identify the
sharpers. Hhe refused. The police tried
to single them out without her aid, hut
failed. In consequence, Mrs. Newman 1ms
lost throe dollars, and the sharpers, who
ever they were, are that much richer.

Speaking of Milledgeville reminds mo
that the steel rails of a Georgia railroad
covered tho first iron-clad gunboat ever
built. The Georgia railroad from Angusta
to Macon was nbout completed to Mayfield
when the war broke out. The contractors
were waiting with folded hands for a ship
load of steel rails that had been ordered
from Englaud with which to build the read
to Milledgeville, thirty miles from Mayfield.
The ship reached Charleston just us the
echo of the first'gun from Fort Sumter
rolled buck from the sea. The rails were
seized by tho Confederate States’ govern
ment and the ship with its cargo gent to
the navy yard at Fortsmouth. The gov
ernment soon afterward commenced the
building of their iron-clnds. Tho hull of
the Merrimac, which hud been burned to
the water’s edge by tho Federulg when they
evacuated Portsmouth, was token and after
being converted into a gunboat, was plated
with steel rails that were bought for a rail
road in Georgia. The Merrimac was christ
ened the Virginia, and its fate is well
known.

Dnring the war the prohibitionist* conld
hnve won victory after victory with tho
enemies’ own weapons. It was then that
material for the distillation of whiaky wus
scarce. Com ond wheat were necessary for
the army and for bread for the soldiers’
families at home, and none of it could be
wasted for whisky. Tho distillers tried
everything that could take the place of com
and wheat, but with poor succckm. Peas
and potatoes were mostly used, and the
kind of whisky distilled from them is best
described by a well-known Georgia lawyer
who said that “the pea whisky tasted as if
you hod swallowed a cat; the potato wliinky
tasted as if you had pulled the cat up by
the tail!’’
It took very littlo of that kind of whisky
tc make a man see snakes. I reipembor
one man who' aaw something worse. He
was seated with several of his friends in a
saloon in Macon. They were all drinking,
bat ho bad taken more than his usual allow
ance of war-time whisky. The proprietor
of the saloon bod a pet monkey thut hod
tho run of the placeandliis favorite resting-
place was the top of a certain barrel. My
friend happened to see the animal for the
first time and said: “Boys, do you •
monkey?”
There must have been some kind of tacit
understanding among his friends to have
some fun. They looked in the direction
pointed to and though the monkey was
plainly visible, they put on serious faces
aud said they did not see it. The poor
fellow again pointed it out to them, and
again they said they did not see it Then
he noticed their countenances, which
seemed to say “poor fellow, he’s gone” and
said:
I don’t see U neither; I was just trying
to fool you!”
In this case there was no imagination
about it but it came to light yesterday that
a man con be very easily deceived m what
he sees. We have in Macon a gentleman
who observes the weather signs very close*
ly, whether tor hia own amusement and
benefit or to become a Wiggins or a Yen-
ner I can’t say. At any rate ono of his bear
ings has been tho weather vane on the
court house spire. Every day for a loir;
time he has mode a note of its positions nu
made hia predictions as to the rain, cold
heat
Yesterday the workmen engaged in paint
ing the spiro examined the vane and dis
covered that it has not moved ont out of its
place for yean! By way of consolation to
tbe gentleman who has consulted it so of
ten aud so faithfully, I can say that tue
county commissioners are having anew one
made that will be guaranteed to tarn by
the softest breath of a sephyr.
The Savannah, Dublin ami tV>Rt<*rn i;»H-
roatl a Thing of tlie X«ar Future.
A few day* ago tbe Tei.kohafii announced that
tbe Macon and Dublin railroad had received aid
from Northern cA]>UaltaU and would bo speedily
completed to Macon.
Yc«terday afternoon a reporter met Col. J. D.
Jonen. a prominent lawyer of Dublin, from whom
some interesting information coucerulng tbe new
road wm obtained. Col. Jotiom regards the cotuple*
tiou of tbe road a* a certainty, an w ill be Keen from
what he Raid on the hobject.
“The Macon and Dublin railroad ha* not been
Hold,” Col. Jones Raid, “but it haa been fortunate
enough to aeoure a backer in the person of a Phila
delphia capitalist who represents a wealthy syndi
cate Ho and hia partners proposed to furnish the
money necessary to complete the road according to
tho original plana."
"What are those plans?"
"The road, as originally projected, was to ran
from Savannah, through Dublin, to Macon, with a
branch line from Dublin to Americus aud Colum
bus. This project will be carried out The road
will hereafter be known as the Savannah, Dublin
and Western. It will pass through a flue country
and will prove a valuable property."
"Will it be a shorter line than the Central from
Macon to Savannah?"
"fee; shorter by at least thirty miles. Tbe road
will be almost a direct air line."
"In it the iutentlon of the syndicate to bnild the
road at once?*
"Yen; the contract between the stockholders and
the Hyudicete requires that the road shall be com-
f letcd from Dublin to Macon within twelve uiohths.
understand that tlie Philadelphia capitalist 1 have
mentioned bus said that the part ot the road be
tween Dublin and Savanuah will al*o tie completed
within that time. I suppose that this will also
true of that part of tho lino between Dublin and
Amoricu*.”
"Will Macon be tbe northern outlet?"
"That U my undcrtatulUig. At Macou the road
will have an ontlet to Knoxville by either the East
Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia railroad, or by tho
Covington and Macon railroad."
"Will the ciU.'.eu# of Macon be requested to sub
scribe to tlie capital stock of the rued?"
"I thiuk not The syndicate does not desire any
body to tako stock in the road, and haa tried to
buy that owned by tbe projector* of tbe road."
A survey of the railroad situation in Macou shows
that tbe city now has seven roads lu operation.
Tlie.v are the Ccniral, the Macon and Western, the
Southwestern, the Muscogee, the Macon and Bruns
wick, the Macon and Augusta, and the Atlanta
division of tbe East Tennessee. Virginia and Geor
gia. The first fonr are under the name and control
of the Central; and the sixth Is under the name of
the Georgia aud under the control of the Central;
and the tiftb and seventh are under the name and
control of the East Tennessee, Yitglnlaaud Georgia.
Thu completion of the Covington and Macon, and
thoHavaunah. Dublin aud Western, will give the
city nine roads, all of them Important lines,
Macon is destined to be the railroad center of the
State, and her Importance as a city will yet be
greater than that of any otucr in Georgia.
